Publisher's Description

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24 (ESV)

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life, says Billy Graham, known by many as Gods Ambassador. I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.

In Nearing Home this man of faithnow in his ninetiesexplores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice, says the author. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.

Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from Gods point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day.

As a Christian, also living in my final quarter century, this was something I have been wrestling with. At 80 years, is my life essentially downsized in all respects, or can it be UPsized for Christ? It has been very heartwarming to read Rev. Graham's personal account of how he has been dealing with the same issues. Age is a great equalizer, and it was a surprise to find very human emotions in a man who has been such a role model for us all. Throughout my reading, I have had the warm sensation of sitting at this blessed Christian's side as he shared the gems of life with me personally.

This book is a wonderful tool to those of us who are retired or close to retirement. It is encouraging, honest and very comforting to read about someone who has gone before us in our maturing years. We are blessed to have Billy Graham share with us his experiences and stories that we can relate to, and also learn new things to think about and treasure before we go home.
